Man gets 7 years for role in drug ring

A Camden drug dealer was sentenced to seven years in prison on Friday for his role in a large South Jersey heroin and cocaine ring.

Rashaan Coles, 31, pleaded guilty last September to second-degree conspiracy to distribute narcotics, according to the state Attorney General's Office.

Coles was among 28 drug suspects arrested during a multiagency investigation into a network that shipped cocaine from Puerto Rico to Newark and New York for distribution in the Camden area, authorities said.

An indictment handed down in December 2011 charged 18 of the defendants with first-degree money laundering, and seven defendants with counts of first-degree distribution of narcotics.
